In https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/debug/pe-format#the-load-configuration-structure-image-only, the `IMAGE_GUARD_DELAYLOAD_IAT_IN_ITS_OWN_SECTION` flag is described as "Delayload import table in its own .didat section (with nothing else in it) that can be freely reprotected."
I am preparing a patch to binutils to put the delay IAT in its own (read/write) `.didat` output section. I would then like to prepare a pull request to LLD to do the same. However, I see that LLD is currently using `.didat` input section for [the delay load directory table](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/debug/pe-format#the-delay-load-directory-table) instead. Is this something that's done for compatibility with MS link.exe and cannot be changed, or would it be acceptable to move that into `.rdata` to put only the delay IAT in `.didat` ?
